Al Franken thinks President George W. Bush should “confess”, according to today’s Denver Post. He’s so kind, in fact, he’d “forgive” Bush for an “outright confession”:

“The best way for us to start getting out is for the president to finally admit some mistakes,” Franken said in a phone interview. “Just say,’OK, we kind of cherry-picked, exaggerated and misled people. Saddam was just a bad guy. We thought there were weapons of mass destruction there, and that’s the only way we could get in. My fault. Sorry.’

“This would be a several-hour apology. If he did that, I would say, ‘Way to go, man!’ and help him.”

Franken is making his third visit to the troops in Iraq next month. “My wife doesn’t like me going to Iraq. She says, ‘You don’t see Bill O’Reilly going to Iraq.’ I said, ‘That’s not fair; he doesn’t have any talent.”‘

Hey Al, maybe Bush should “confess” when you’re ready to come clean on what and when you first learned about some of Air America Radio’s most questionable actions.

It’s nice the mainstream media doesn’t ask you such unpleasant questions, but doesn’t mean you should push your luck.
